1. The Short Version: We Respect Your Privacy
At CharacterForge Hub (accessible at YOURDOMAIN.com), we believe privacy should be the default, not an afterthought. You do not need to create an account, provide an email address, or submit personal identifiers to generate characters, copy sheets, or download cards.
2. How We Use Browser LocalStorage
Our website utilizes your browser's built-in localStorage feature solely for your convenience:
- Recent History: When you generate a character, the last 10 results are saved locally on your device under keys like
cf_hist_hubso you can review previous rolls in the history drawer. - Theme Preference: Your selection between dark and light mode is remembered under
cf_theme.
Crucially: Data stored in localStorage remains entirely inside your own browser. It is never transmitted, uploaded, or synced to any external server. You can clear this data at any time through your browser's "Clear Site Data" or "Clear Browsing History" settings.
3. Advertising and Cookies
To keep CharacterForge Hub 100% free and support our server infrastructure, we may display third-party advertisements (such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, or Raptive networks). Third-party vendors and ad networks use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites across the internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting AboutAds.info or Google Ad Settings.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
Some pages on this site feature curated affiliate links to creative writing reference books, dice, and tabletop materials. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. All affiliate links are clearly marked with an "Affiliate Link" badge and include rel="sponsored nofollow" attributes.
5. Log Files & Analytics
Like most static websites, our hosting provider records standard web server logs (including IP addresses, browser user-agents, referring pages, and access timestamps) for security diagnostics, DDoS mitigation, and traffic monitoring. These logs do not contain personal identities and are purged periodically.
6. Your Rights (CCPA & GDPR)
Regardless of where you reside, you have the right to inspect or delete any data associated with your browsing session. Because we do not collect names, emails, or personal profiles, the only data tied to your session is stored inside your own browser's cache and local storage, which you can erase immediately.
